Swatches | Pure Imagination by Colores de Carol

Hey guys! Today I have a swatch and review of the Pure Imagination collection available now from Colores de Carol! This collection consists of 10 new gorgeous holographic polishes with added iridescent glitters and they were sent to me for review.

Discovery shown at 2 coats under artificial lighting.Discovery at an angle under artificial lighting.

First up is Discovery, described as a “bold pink linear holographic with iridescent micro glitter (purple-blue).” This polish started out a little bit silvery but built up to a gorgeous pink finish with a strong linear holograph effect.

Mirage shown at 2 coats under artificial lighting.Mirage at an angle under artificial lighting.

Next up is Mirage, described as a “soft pink linear holographic with iridescent micro glitter (purple-blue.) Mirage was another super easy and silky two coater, it is a little similiar to Discovery but a little softer of a finish.

Next up is Daydream, described as a “shining coral-y red linear holographic with iridescent micro glitter (orange-green).” Daydream is such a gorgeous bright orange red shade! It was opaque in 2 easy coats.

Muse shown at 2 coats under artificial lighting.Muse at an angle under artificial lighting.

Next up is Muse, described as a “glaring orangey sand linear holographic with iridescent micro glitter (lime-gold).” Even though this is a lighter shade it was still easily opaque in 2 coats, I love the strong metallic gold shimmer in this polish!

Elysium shown at 2 coats under artificial lighting.Elysium at an angle under artificial lighting.

Next up is Elysium, described as a “yellowish green linear holographic with iridescent micro glitter (orange-green).” Elysium was another surprise 2 coater, I was really expecting to need more to build up and if you do super thin coats you made. This is so buttery and bright on the nail!

Next up is Fantasia, described as a “intense kiwi green linear holographic with iridescent micro glitter (orange-green).” This is such a spring appropriate shade! Perfectly opaque in just 2 coats!

Infinity shown at 2 coats under artificial lighting.Infinity at an angle under artificial lighting.

Next up is Infinity, described as a “bright cerulean blue linear holographic with iridescent micro glitter (lime-gold).” This one started out a touch sheer but really built up nicely on it’s own in 2 coats.

Aquiver shown at 2 coats under artificial lighting.Aquiver at an angle under artificial lighting.

Next up is one of my top picks, Aquiver! Aquiver is described as a “intense magenta linear holographic with iridescent micro glitter (purple-blue).” This polish will shift more pink or more purple depending on the lighting source! Another easy to use 2 coat polish.

Curious shown at 2 coats under artificial lighting.Curious at an angle under artificial lighting.

Next up is Curious, described as a “bright grape linear holographic with flashes of iridescent micro glitter (blue-green).” What can I say, another beautiful two coat polish with a flawless finish!

Lastly today I have Stargazer, described as a “dazzling top coat packed with silver holographic micro flakes and iridescent micro glitter.” It is perfectly dense and really shines over ablack or dark base. This topcoat did dry down a tiny bit textured but your favorite top coat will smooth it right down!
